ColdFusion and AJAX

By: Mike Peters

On a Sandy Beach: 10/05/2019

Mike is the inventor and architect of Pipi and the founder of Ajabbi.

While getting up to speed on AJAX, I wondered how it would work with a ColdFusion Server. I spent many years developing in CFML some time back.

I have a lot to learn as I build a front-end in AJAX.

Here are some helpful links from a quick Google search.

• Using AJAX to get data from a ColdFusion component page, and fill another dropdown with results (Q&A from StackOverflow in 2018)
• Using Ajax form controls and features (Adobe Help in 2017)
• Function Summary AJAX (Adobe CFML Documentation in 2018)
• Ask Ben: Building An AJAX, jQuery, And ColdFusion Powered Application (from the illustrious Ben Nadal in 2009)
• AJAX Tutorial (from Quackit)
• Simple jQuery AJAX w/ ColdFusion (from Chris Tierney in 2016)
• Dropdown to Ajax call to ColdFusion example (from the legendary Ray Camden in 2015)
